Chapter 350 - I swear twice, three times
The master of Défense had a dazed face as if he was quite shocked.
At first, there was some hesitation about his hideous appearance, but he was satisfied with his hard work.
To think that such a person was selling out the names of examiners to future alumni!
Master Cheonmyeong, the ruler of the Oryong Palace, this time turned his attention to Master Yuun, who was in charge of 'Namchaehwa'.
“How does Yeondubi look in the eyes of Master Yuun?”
“I'll be honest, he's an inconspicuous person except for his face. It is at an ordinary level even in recital or preaching. He's not a genius to the point of being carried around even if it's too much.”
Master Yuwun secretly wanted Yeondubi to be kicked out.
Master Cheonmyeong looked at Master Yuun with perplexed eyes.
How can someone who came after being recommended by the King of Swords look so ordinary?
“Is this normal?”
“If I had to pick one thing that stood out, it would be going to Namam Palace in the afternoon looking for people. To be honest, sometimes I am so eager that I wonder, ‘Aren’t they in the Dragon Palace looking for people?’”
Master Cheonmyeong nodded his head as if he understood.
He seemed to think so somehow.
'Hmm! If it catches the eyes of the sword king, it means that the martial arts are at a considerable level... … .’
It's strange that such a person would commit himself and live a difficult life as a practitioner.
If he was a warrior, he would think it would be better to swing his sword one more time at such a time.
'As expected, did you come looking for someone?'
It is not easy to find people who are hiding in Wudang Mountain. Wudang Mountain has seventy-two peaks and twenty-six Rocky Mountains.
Certainly, if you're looking for someone for a long time, it's better to stay in a place like the Dragon Palace. This is because lodging is the biggest problem in a deep mountain like Mt. Wudang.
If finding people comes first and magic is second, it's a bit bitter, but understandable.
“Okay. Today, only the two of you know. I will take care of Yeondubi's affairs.”
"yes."
Master Bangmu and Master Yuun answered in unison and then withdrew.
Master Cheonmyeong, who was worried alone, again ordered Gowol to bring Yeondubi.
“You said you were looking for me?”
Yeonjeokha glanced at the complexion of Master Cheonmyeong.
I don't know why he asked me to take a picture of himself and see him separately the day before the question-and-answer ceremony.
'Are you trying to help with the question-and-answer ceremony?'
Maybe he was trying to do that for the sake of saving face for his Uncle Sword King.
'If that's the case, I'll pretend I can't win and accept it.'
It is when Yeonjeokha is swollen in his sweet dreams.
Master Cheonmyeong asked with a solemn face.
“Yeonsohyup. We, the non-partisan faction, didn’t charge anything to the Yeonso-hyeop, so did you need money?”
“… … .”
For a moment, he couldn't say anything and only blinked his eyes.
“I asked if you needed money that much.”
"no?"
“But why did you do that to the trainees of ‘Namchaehwa’ who might become alumni?”
“Is that so?”
I felt hot on the inside, but I let go of my pretence.
However, Master Cheonmyeong was not a person who was drunk with water or drunk with alcohol.
“Why did you sell the name of the question-and-answer examiner to the trainees of ‘Namchaehwa’?”
“Ah, that is a misunderstanding.”
"Misunderstanding?"
“Because I found out the name of the examiner by chance, right? But I don’t know how they knew that, so practitioners kept coming to me and asking me to teach them.”
“Ugh! I want you to correct that tone.”
“Ah, yes. Anyway, people kept sticking to me like leeches, so I told them to pay, no, I did. That seems to be so misunderstood. It was never because I needed the money. I can swear by my father's name."
Yeonjeokha originally did not like his father very much. So he still had no qualms about it.
When he even mentioned his deceased father, Master Cheonmyeong decided to believe Yeon Doo-bi's words.
Of course, that doesn't mean that all the discomfort has gone away.
“Okay. don't let me believe But who gave you the name of the examiner?”
Master Cheonmyeong looked at his Yeondubi with sharp eyes.
It was also a problem that a person who had been to Ohryonggung for about 15 days found out the name of the examiner.
'Some of the Taoists must have spilled it.'
An outsider like Yeon Doo-bi doesn't matter as long as he passes by. However, he had to know who the guru leaked the secret of the Oryong Palace.
“That, that… … .”
I was greatly embarrassed by the question of the master of Cheonmyeong, who was a rival.
Here, when it is revealed that he bought the name with money, his appearance becomes ridiculous.
Even for the honour of the Uncle Sword King, that wouldn't be the case.
“I happened to wander in the Oryong Palace and overheard the conversation between the Seven Masters of the Oryong.”
“Is it true?”
"Yes."
“Can you swear on your father’s name?”
"Yes! I swear twice, three times.”
Master Chunming nodded his head.
It was because the Murim people were afraid to lie in the name of their father.
‘Fortunate. There are no leakers among non-partisan guru.'
It's even a bit futile to think that everything is the result of coincidence.
“Originally, your behaviour deserves to be expelled. However, I have no intention of profiting from the action, and since I came to know the examiner's name by chance, I will cover it.”
"Thank you."
“But next time something like this happens again, I will never forgive you then. At that time, even if you were recommended by the Jade Emperor rather than the Sword King, you would have to leave the Oryong Palace. Do you know what that means?”
In a word, it is said that it will be kicked out.
He nodded his head violently as he had no words to say even with ten mouths.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was trudging from ‘Geumjeonggak’ to ‘Nam Chae-hwa’, tilted his head.
'But how did the prince know that?'
At that time, he suddenly remembered the face of Cheon Sang-dong, who was grinding his teeth at him.
-If you want to come out like that, we won't stand still either.
-What if you don't stay still?
- You'll know when you see it. let's go! brother only.
He seems to have accused Cheon Sang-dong and Man Hwang-ju of not sharing the money.
A flash of light flashed in the sage's eyes.
'Do these dares to sprinkle feces on my path?'
In a fit of rage, the couple kicked the bare ground with their feet.
It was when the Yeonjeokha entered the octagonal angle.
From somewhere, Man-Hwangju came running and spoke to him.
“Little brother.”
"what?"
“I saw the old moon master taking you away. What happened?”
" Why do you ask when you know?”
“I know?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
"What?"
The couple stopped walking and looked at Manhwangju with dazzling eyes.
"And! This guy has a really thick face. Do you pretend to accuse me of not sharing the money I earned? You know that I don't know? Make sure of this!”
When Yeon Jeok-ha raised his fist, Man Hwang-joo, startled, took a step back.
And he said with a straight face.
“What do you mean? Are you making a complaint? If that happens, we will get entangled too. No matter how angry we were, did we put our own necks in the noose? You and we are a community of destiny.”
He could not refute the lengthy explanation of Manhwangju.
That was also true.
He himself did not reveal his money dealings with the Uncle Sword King to save face. If it wasn't for that, their names would have come out. That's because you can't do it alone.
“Did the prince really know that you sold the examiner’s name for money?”
The couple, who had been somewhat relieved of their anger, nodded.
Then Manhwangju shouted with an angry face.
“How! so? So how did it go?”
“What good are you screaming about? What if others hear it?”
Only belatedly, Hwangju covered his mouth with his hand and stared at Yeonjeokha.
Seeing those earnest eyes, Yeon Jeok-ha said as if he were friendly.
“It’s all wrong. I said there would be no such thing now, and from now on there will be no soup.”
“You believed the word misunderstanding?”
“Yes, I swore in the name of my deceased father, and he believed me.”
“… … .”
Manhwangju looked at Yeondubi with bewildered eyes.
I was stunned to see him mentioning his late father's name casually in a lie.
He only looked at his appearance and thought he was easygoing, but it's not normal to be evil.
“Seeing that brother Chun and I were not mentioned, it seems that a trainee of ‘Namchaehwa’ made the accusation.”
Yeonjeokha looked at Manhwangju with doubtful eyes.
He said no, so he let it go, but he couldn't shake his doubts about them.
Yeonjeokha's suspicions Hwangju repeatedly denied his young gaze.
"It's not really us. Think about it. Why would we do something that would put us in danger?”
“I don’t know. Maybe because my eyes went wide, I thought that you would die and I would die.”
“Look. We, no matter how much we turn our eyes, will not go to the place where we will die.”
Manhwangju became more and more burdened with Yeondubi.
From what he was saying, he was the kind of guy who would say that if you turn your eyes away, you'll die and I'll die.
“Ah done. You know it's because you've covered everything up until now. Let’s not see each other again.”
He trudged towards Nam Chae-hwa, who spoke harshly.
Manhwangju didn't hold on anymore and stood blankly like a mangbuseok, only looking at his back.
Cheon Sang-dong appeared behind Manhwangju.
“Why were you called?”
“Ah, the prince said that she called after finding out that he bought and sold the examiner’s name.”
"omg! So?”
“I think it was passed through improvisation. It must have been stabbed by someone from ‘Nam Chae-hwa’.”
“You mean the princess fell for just a few words from a bastard like that? That picky guru? No, no, in the first place, can such a big deal be passed over with words?”
Cheon Sang-dong looked at Manhwangju with absurd eyes.
If it were revealed that he sold the examiner's name to the trainees, he would be kicked out by itself.
“Hmm! Listening to Chun's words, that's a bit strange, but... … . As you can see, I'm walking around without anything happening, right? Now I don't even know.”
Only the emperor shook his head excitedly.
He honestly feels that he doesn't want to get involved with Yeon Doo-bi, who treats him badly.
“It’s like the fact that I was called separately by the master of Défense before. Doesn’t it seem like someone is behind Yeon Doo-bi?”
Thinking hard, Sangdong's eyes narrowed.
Looking at what was happening right now, it was clear that there was someone looking after her.
“Chun hyung, what if you have a belly and what if you don’t? I don’t even want to associate with that.”
“Are you going to do only good things and finish it like this?”
"I'm just saying that we could get hurt trying to feed him water. Have you ever seen his eyes up close? He is never one to be defeated alone.”
Cheon Sang-dong agreed with that statement.
I approached him because he looked stale for some reason, but Yeon Doo-bi was not an easy guy.
If he did, he wouldn't have gone wrong in the first place.
The reason they became enemies like now was because he didn't bow down to them and come in.
“No matter how great his back tummy is, I can't end up being ignored like this. If you watch, the opportunity will surely come. Then let's throw him over so he can't be taken out or knocked out.”
Cheon Sang-dong felt like he was bitten by his dog, so he wanted to get revenge somehow.
“Let’s prepare for a question-and-answer ceremony, whether by chance or not. Doesn't that mean you become a probationary disciple just because you humiliate that guy?"
Manhwangju turned the topic into a question-and-answer style.
This is why tomorrow is a question-and-answer ceremony, and if it fails again, we have to raise a donation.
